Glasgow: Go Drinking with a Scotsman
Get Schooled in Whisky by a True Glaswegian
ABOUT THE Glasgow: Go Drinking with a Scotsman
This tour is operated by our partner Scotland Touring.
Scotland is famous for many things (bagpipes, kilts, deep-fried everything) but nothing says "true Scottish experience" quite like sharing a dram with a local. On this one-of-a-kind tour, you'll do exactly that. "Go Drinking with a Scotsman" is a cultural exchange, a whisky education, and a hilarious night out, all rolled into 90 unforgettable minutes.
We’ll kick things off at George Square, right in the heart of Glasgow. From there, you’ll head out on a short walk with your native Glaswegian guide (a proud ambassador of the national drink) who’ll bring a touch of humour and charm to your evening. The destination? One of Glasgow’s oldest and most atmospheric pubs, where the décor is traditional, the welcome is warm, and the whisky selection is nothing short of impressive.
Here, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of 4 single malts, each representing one of Scotland’s iconic whisky regions: smoky Islay, bold Highland, smooth Lowland, and fruity Speyside. You’ll learn how to appreciate the flavour profiles, understand the differences between each style, and hear the stories of the people and places behind them.
From whisky’s smoky origins to Glasgow’s most eccentric legends and cultural quirks, this experience is a full-bodied journey into the soul of Scotland. Curious first-timers will find a friendly welcome and expert guidance, while longtime lovers of Scotch can deepen their appreciation in the company of a proud host. Raise your glass and toast to an unforgettable night in Glasgow!
